Conan: I'm really not a model worker at a winery

Chapter 279 Strange Corpse
The corner of the street.

A white and green cleaning truck was parked on the side of the road, and a cleaning worker leaned against the wall next to him, too scared to make a sound.

Next to the corner is the garbage disposal point.

After hearing the exclamation, all the members of the Boy Detective Team who rushed to the scene in the rain helped to call the police at the first time. At the same time, Conan checked the condition of the corpse in the garbage truck and announced solemnly:

People are gone.

After confirming that someone died, Hiroki showed an expression of "as expected", and at the same time received the affirmation of Hui Yuanai and the adoring gaze of Di Dan Sanbao.

Facing this kind of situation, Conan felt a little heartbroken—he found that when he was with Hiroki, occasionally the limelight would drift to Hiroki unconsciously.

Before the police came, when Conan helped protect the scene with an umbrella, he quietly pulled Hiroki aside:
"Hey, Hiroki, you don't have any special perception, do you?"

"……what?"

Hiroki didn't understand Big Brother Conan's words, and a question mark popped up on his forehead.

"That's right, for example, the ability to sense any criminals nearby, or the ability to sense malice..." Conan whispered, not forgetting to glance at Hui Yuanai, "Because someone said before that she could sense The existence of certain groups of people."

Haibara, who was being watched, turned her head expressionlessly.

I'm sorry, she heard it all... I'm really sorry for talking about it.

Hiroki's eyes were complicated: "I don't have this ability..."

If he had to say it, he wondered if there was any strange position or something unclean in Conan—since he came into contact with the practice of 'Qi', Hiroki was no longer a pure atheist.

He is now a seedling on the metaphysics side.

Conan blinked: "Then, why do you seem to be able to predict something in advance every time?"

It can't be all planned, can it?
"...Conan."

"what?"

"I think you could be a little more confident in yourself."

Sawada Hiroki's expression was extremely complicated.

Does Conan really have no count of the cases around him?
Conan: "...?"

What does Hiroki mean?And looking at his expression... why does it feel weird?
Conan waited in a daze for the arrival of Police Officer Megure.

The other person who came with Officer Megure this time was not Takagi, but he was also a person Conan was familiar with—Matsuda Jinpei.

The moment he saw the other party, Conan felt a little different, he touched the side of Memu Shisan and pulled his trousers:

"Hey, Officer Megure... why is Officer Matsuda here?"

"Ah?" Officer Mu Mu, who had just organized his subordinates to carry out the on-site investigation, lowered his head in a daze, unable to understand Conan's meaning, "Brother Matsuda... Although he is already recruited by the police department, it is normal to go out with the police... "

"...I don't mean that."

Conan scratched his head in embarrassment, "I heard Officer Sato and the others say that Officer Matsuda doesn't seem to show up except for the bombing..."

"Yeah, so I didn't want to come."

The slightly lazy voice made Conan pause.

Immediately, Conan turned his head to look at the person walking slowly, with an innocent face, "Ah, Officer Matsuda..."

He, inexplicably, had the feeling of being caught speaking ill of someone.

Matsuda Jinpei came from the cleaning truck under an umbrella.

This time he didn't wear sunglasses, and he didn't have candy or cigarettes in his mouth. "I didn't want to deal with this case...but, who made it so close to a case the night before yesterday."

"The case from last night?"

Conan was aroused curiosity.

He encountered a case the day before yesterday, and it was police officer Megure who came to solve it at that time, but the police haven't found the address of the vicious man yet.

He stayed in the detective agency yesterday and didn't go there. It seemed that everything was peaceful.

"Or in the early hours of yesterday, an explosion occurred in Kabadocho [-]-chome, two streets past here."

Matsuda Jinpei unbuttoned the collar, probably feeling a little stuffy.

This news made Conan a little concerned, "Then, are there any casualties?"

Matsuda Jinpei looked down at Conan, his eyes flickered, "Ah... yes, there was a charred corpse in the center of the explosion, and there was a passerby who was just stabbed by the glass shards splashed by the explosion and lost blood Too many deaths."

Conan's pupils contracted.

Explosion, scorched corpse...

Could it be those people?

"I remember, Brother Matsuda, you said..." Officer Mu Mu also interjected at this time, with a slightly solemn expression.

"The traces of the explosion are very similar to the explosion that happened in the previous company... and there is an obvious cut on the neck of the charred corpse. Judging from the state of death, it should not have died from the explosion." Matsuda Zhenping looked at the cleaning car, " Because there were no witnesses or suspects in that case, so when I heard there was a case nearby, I came over to see if there were any clues... But with such heavy rain, even if there were any clues, they should have been washed away."

The corpse has been removed from the cleaning vehicle, covered with a white towel, and ready to be transported away—it seems that the preliminary autopsy is almost done.

However, Conan's attention was completely focused on the case that Matsuda Jinpei said, and he didn't even roll his eyes.

Explosions, people killed, traces wiped out...

No matter how you look at it, it's the style of those guys!
Also, that company?
"Officer Matsuda, is the previous company you mentioned the building of Tokiwa Corporation?"

"No... It was a company called Qinggang Pharmaceutical earlier." When Matsuda Jinpei answered, he silently lowered his eyes.

When Ke heard it, his pupils shrank instantly.

It really is those people!People from that organization!
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he didn't notice Matsuda Jinpei's slightly strange expression.

At this time, the police officer who finished the forensics came to report:
"Officer Megure, Officer Matsuda, we found several suspicious points..."

Matsuda Jinping narrowed his eyes: "Tell me."

Conan also narrowed his eyes—this time even the police can find out the suspicious points?

It’s tricky!
"Yes! So far we have found out that there is no obvious trauma on the body surface of the corpse, but Yoshikawa lines and strangulation marks were found on its neck, so it can be judged that it is undoubtedly a homicide..."

"What's more, judging from the stiffness of the corpse and the spots on the corpse, the death time of the deceased should be close to 20 to 24 hours, but not more than one day."

"In addition, the cleaning gentleman who was the first to discover the deceased said that when he checked the compartment at the last garbage disposal point, he did not find the existence of the deceased..."

After the coroner finished speaking, the forensic staff next to him explained that no traces related to the deceased were found on or near the cleaning vehicle.

Obviously, the cleaning van was not the first scene—the victim should have been killed somewhere, and then the prisoner used some means to send him to the cleaning van that regularly cleaned up the garbage.
